AzEIP Staff Development and Training Project

The AzEIP Staff Development and Training Project (ASDTP) provides support to early intervention programs, providers and families within the Arizona Early Intervention Program (AzEIP) through an interagency agreement with the Department of Economic Security (DES).

Through interagency agreements with the Division of Developmental Disabilities (DDD), the Arizona Schools for the Deaf and the Blind (ASDB) and it’s own contractors, AzEIP is responsible for administrating and overseeing early intervention services throughout the State.

Early intervention programs provide supports and
services to enhance the capacity of families to support their infants
and toddlers with delays or disabilities to thrive in their homes and
communities.
